This is useful for devices where the endstop is pressed while power is off, due to gravity, springs, or otherwise. When the ODrive initially starts up, it sees the limit switch(es) pressed and disarms the motor(s) immediately. With this setting enabled, the limit switch will not cause the motor to disarm during inital startup, making the `odrive.axis*.config.startup_*` flags useful again.
This is useful for devices where the endstop is pressed while power is off, due to gravity, springs, or otherwise. When combined with odriverobotics#747, this allows the ODrive to start up the motors and perform the encoder index search while one of the endstops is pressed. With this setting enabled, the limit switch will not cause the motor to disarm during the encoder index search, making the `odrive.axis*.config.startup_encoder_index_search` flag useful again.
